In 1994, the abridged audio versions of the first three books were published in cassette form. The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty was read by actress Amy Brenneman. Beauty's Punishment was read by Elizabeth Montgomery (known for her role in the ABC situation comedy Bewitched) as Beauty with Michael Diamond as Tristan, and Beauty's Release was read by Montgomery with actor Christian Keiber reading as Laurent.[2] A compact disc version of the audiobooks was read by Genviere Bevier and Winthrop Eliot.[3]

TIL there are erotic Sleeping Beauty books...

They're something. I actually learned about the book series itself in the nineties from my surprisingly sexually open ex-mother-in-law. 😆

So, are they good? Involve vampires? As creepy as the title implies?

My recollection is that the books use a fairy tale setting with the addition of a lot (and I mean a lot) of explicit sex. I don't remember any vampires, but it's been years.

As for the quality, "good" is subjective. I would say they are...effective in what they aim to accomplish insomuch as they are premium wanking material. 👍

I remember reading "interview with a vampire" and being unable to put the book down, but it's been a very long time. Maybe if I get really bored, song of ice and fire has enough explicit to where I couldn't play the audiobooks in the car lol.

They might change your meaning for the word pony in a way you aren't prepared for.
